I&#39;m surprised the actual Fenway programs of the few games I went to back (and Expos games!) then are not around. The earliest scoring stuff I have now is from late in the 1986 season. :&lt;(redsockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-48714878342497335612009-11-22T13:56:48.938-05:002009-11-22T13:56:48.938-05:00I still have a notebook from about &#39;87 where I...I still have a notebook from about &#39;87 where I cut out each day&#39;s game articles and the standings and box score and pasted them in.

It made the trip to Boston twice a year while we had our soap business, but it&#39;s over 400k miles now, and there&#39;s no way.<br />Ish - you were within about 20minutes of my house when you passed that sign on 77! I do get down to Charlotte several times a year, it&#39;s about an hour from me. Usually for a music show. It&#39;s a much bigger city and attracts some acts we don&#39;t get here. To see any big name act, we have to go to Charlotte or Raleigh, which is further, about 2 hours. And although the big names aren&#39;t what I go see the most, Charlotte also gets smaller avant garde acts we won&#39;t get here.SoSockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982944966573089279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-67036867838130572482009-11-21T16:37:08.816-05:002009-11-21T16:37:08.816-05:00After your car, I&#39;m hard-pressed to think of w...<i>After your car, I&#39;m hard-pressed to think of what could be #2 on the list, if anything.</i><br /><br />What blogs do best is form community, and that&#39;s what led to you pitching in for SoSock/Tim and Cathy. I see the Fundable campaign as coming out of the general context of JoS, especially gamethreads. <br /><br />Perhaps the second best would be JoS1.L-girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-77781636998236245832009-11-21T14:02:21.072-05:002009-11-21T14:02:21.072-05:00Sweet!

Decent read! Couple minor grammar edits and it could probably be published in most newspapers!<br /><br />And I&#39;m not a fan of the switch to 2 for LBJ either.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041184236514293677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-12264229427628112452009-11-21T10:49:33.768-05:002009-11-21T10:49:33.768-05:00Oh hey, Sosock, I was down in Charlotte last week ...Oh hey, Sosock, I was down in Charlotte last week which was sort of close to your neck of the woods! I was driving along down 77, seeing signs for Winston-Salem and thinking, &quot;Hey, I&#39;m in Tim Territory now!&quot; Thought you&#39;d get a kick out of it. Do you get to Charlotte very much? I really liked it.
